Description:

Based on observations, it was determined that two items in the center have not been maintained in a safe and operable condition.
Evidence:
1. One of the toy cars on the 2's playground is missing the steering wheel and is no longer operable as designed.
2. On the back wall of the building, a piece of plywood has been installed to cover a water valve opening in the bricks. The piece of plywood has deteriorated and is now splintered and cracked, with much of the wood peeled off. The piece of plywood is at the level of the school-age children.

Plan of Correction:

1. I will throw away the play car.
2. I will ask maintenance to replace the piece of wood on the brick wall.

Standard #:

22VAC40-185-340-F

Description:

Based on staff interviews, it was determined that on August 31, 2015 one child was left beyond the sight and sound supervision of any staff members for a brief period of time.
Evidence:
It was reported to the Inspector that on August 31, 2015 a child in the toddler classroom was left beyond the sight and sound supervision of any staff members for approximately 1 1/2 minutes. At approximately 4:00 pm, there were 10 children in care in the toddler classroom with a total of 2 staff members. During the transition from the classroom to the outdoor playground, one toddler remained inside after the doors were closed and the other children and both staff members were outside. The staff members did not realize the child was alone in the classroom until approximately 1 1/2 minutes after they were outside.

Plan of Correction:

The teachers did a head count as the children were walking down the stairs to enter the playground. When conducting the head count teacher A immediately realized that one child was inside and proceeded to return to the classroom and retrieve the child. The child was alone for less than 2 minutes.
Since this incident, we have put new transition procedures into place. Each time the toddler class transitions from the classroom to the playground, one of the staff in the classroom radios to the office and an extra staff person is sent to the classroom to assist while the children exit the classroom. In addition, when the toddler class returns to the classroom an extra staff person is sent to assist while the children exit the playground. One staff person is always stationed at the front of the line, one staff person is always stationed at the back of the line, and one staff person is always standing at the door to hold it open during these transition times.
